Mommy just caught me offguard looking at my reflection and wanted to share it with you! Is he a regular Crowntail or a Delta?


Here's another.....Can you explain the difference between the double tails and the regular tails? All I know is I'm glad he was culled for whatever reason..I adore this little boy!

I'd see if Rose agrees, but he looks like he's either a super-delta crowntail or maybe even a halfmoon crowntail. It's very close.

I think he might have the genetics for double-tails in him too. He may have been culled from a double-tail spawning.

Looks like he has a full halfmoon spread to that Crowntail to me. It is close but it makes it to me.

The dip in the center of his rays makes him a double tail. If he was a standard Crowntail his rays would be extended evenly all around his tail. So technically I would class him as a Halfmoon Doubletail Doubleray Crowntail. How's that for a mouthful? And a Dalmation to boot! (note the spots!)

Since we are trying to get as many different types as possible for the calendar, he would be perfect.

He has:

Doubletail
Doubleray
Crowntail
Halfmoon spread
Dalmation coloration

That is a lot in his favor to offer for a place in the calendar.

What say you?

totally amazing..and he seems to know it!

Yea, he should go in the calendar. Thanks for the clarification on his finnage type, Rose.

On that note, considering it came from a Betta expert, "Dunn" is officially in the 2009 Betta Calendar....

The only experts are the fish I am just one of their fans...but thanks for the compliment.
